My cam has a 1.450" base circle, LS6 heads with just the surface touched up on the bottom, maybe .003 or .004" inches removed. I have .04" Cometic head gaskets. What do you guys think I should do for pushrod length?

 

Don't trust what anyone else says to run for length. Check it with a pushrod length check and accept nothing else.

 

Hmmm ok. I'll have to get one I guess.

BTW - I have a stock oil pump that was working well on my 5.3 when I pulled the motor. PM me if you're interested.
